Listen to this note:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Churrobots, the Hope Horizon robotics team from East Palo Alto, were part of the winning alliance at the Silicon Valley Regional FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) on March 3, and despite many obstacles, managed to qualify for the world championship in Houston; however, they need to raise $40,000 for their trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obstacles such as bumper issues, the lead student driving the robot being ill, and a lower ranking that did not reflect their actual performance were not enough to stop them and the Churrobots managed to remain competitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having qualified for the world championship for the first time, the Churrobots need to raise $40,000 for their trip to Houston from April 17 to 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

Angel Fernandez, head of the electrical sub-team, is delighted with this opportunity. \u201cWhen I first joined this team, I wasn\u2019t too sure. I was thrown into wiring on my first day and was intimidated to jump right in, but then it was great to see how it all worked,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly never imagined going to the Worlds.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
